Become an Herbal Diplomat^®


	Next Class Starts June 2009

	For centuries healing plants have demonstrated an ability to unite human beings of all races, creeds, and cultural traditions. Plants are a vital part of the healing practices of the people of the world. They are a part of modern biomedicine and ancient healing traditions. Wise people of many cultures have prophesized that the 21st century would be a time when people would find greater ways to integrate traditions and emerging science. Herbal Diplomats^® have a broad base of botanical understanding from clinical and biomedical inquiry of plant constituents to the holistic, multi-dimensional applications of botanical healing knowledge gained from participating in the plant-human relationship. This course is for those who desire to learn to integrate modern biomedical research on herbs and herbal healing traditions when caring for themselves and others with botanical therapies.
